Which consoles do you own?

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 02:00 PM

As part of my continuing fact-finding mission on your earth "civilization," I would like to know which of the next-gen consoles you own.

cthomer5000 · 03-28-2003, 02:06 PM

no love for dreamcast?

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 02:07 PM

I don't count obsolete consoles.

I bet you wish you could respond to your own post so you could ask:

"So then why is Gamecube in there?"

poor sega.

Marmel · 03-28-2003, 02:10 PM

This poll would have been better if you just listed all three, and allowed multiple selections.

for the record, I own a PS2, which collects a lot dust most of the time. I did not vote in the poll due to its poor design.

We all know you are anti-pollite. Frankly, we don't want your stinkin' vote.

And besides, my design is superior to your proposed design, because it shows the breakdown of multiple consoles owner. So NYAH!!!

Fritz · 03-28-2003, 02:21 PM

this is just some ploy for the Super Smart Monkeys.

Marmel · 03-28-2003, 02:24 PM

Actually, Kodos, I like well done polls. Which explains why I complain about your polls.

The breakdown of multiple console owners would be easy given that the poll records total number of votes.

amateur.

HornedFrog Purple · 03-28-2003, 02:25 PM

Is this the first poll Kodos has not multiple-doladed immediately after creating it?

If so Marm, you should give Kodos a break, Rigel IV wasn't built in a day.

McSweeny · 03-28-2003, 02:25 PM

what about those of us who still have our NES and SNES consoles kicking around?

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 02:26 PM

You still couldn't know how many owned each combo. Admit it - you know nothing about designing a good poll. ROOKIE!

True.

Speaking of Rigel IV, isn't that part of the axis of evil?

The exact combinations is useless information. What exactly does it tell you about the difference between a guy who owns PS2 and Gamecube, and a guy who owns XBox and Gamecube, and a guy who owns just XBox.

Nothing, that is what it tells you.

At least a rookie is in the professional leagues, you amateur.

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 02:30 PM

Who are you to deem what is useless information? I know that my Hoosiers beat your Orangemen back in the late 80s. Is that more "useless information"?

Marmel · 03-28-2003, 02:33 PM

I only became a Syracuse fan in 1990, so your dig means nothing to me.

But you change team loyalty so often, it is amazing you are able to keep track of which teams you like during which decade.

I usually deem something useless information, if there is no possible way any sane being can garner anything intelligent out of it. your polls fit that description.

Marmel · 03-28-2003, 02:43 PM

Lacross Orange during the spring/summer, and a bit of football orange in the fall. I am not a big college football fan, but of course support the SU team as far as I am willing to watch college football.

And you last watched a full game in what year?

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 02:43 PM

So you don't support the SU teams that are inadequate? Like, ohhh, their football team?

Anrhydeddu · 03-28-2003, 02:44 PM

Btw, is it a coincident or some cosmic principle that the top 3 posters (in total by quantity) are Orangemen (or at least close to it)?

Marmel · 03-28-2003, 02:44 PM

They are inadequate? So 1 losing season in the last 17 years is now considered inadequte? Those are some standards you have there. Who do you like this coming season anyway Kodos? Or do you have to wait for the preseason polls to be announced before you decide?

I suspect it's more a statement to the sad work ethic of Syracuse grads.

I will be rooting for Penn State, IU, and Florida State, like I have for the last 2 decades or so.

And, yes, they are inadequate. No championships in our lifetimes = inadequate. IU football, for instance, would be considered inadequate. Just like Syracuse football. And basketball. And probably every other team that Syracuse fields.

henry296 · 03-28-2003, 03:09 PM

Except for lacrosse which is the defending champs.

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 03:13 PM

Way to be champs in a sport that nobody cares about.

Marmel · 03-28-2003, 03:14 PM

18 straight Final Fours in Lacrosse.

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 03:16 PM

Are you really good in tiddly-winks too?!

Marmel, Marmel, marmel...

You pull the lacrosse card?

Very, very weak.

Marmel · 03-28-2003, 03:17 PM

Just because you don't care about Lacrosse doesn't mean it is not a significant sport. Most of the top Lacross programs belong to top Universities. Coincidence? No.

SplitPersonality1 · 03-28-2003, 03:20 PM

Coincidence? Probably not, but again...it's lacrosse!!!

BTW, I'm just ribbing you. I get the same kinds of comments when I express my love for soccer.

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 03:23 PM

Is Hobart considered to be a top university then?

And would it be perhaps a bit easier to dominate in a sport that most schools don't even participate in?

Actually, Syracuse probably gets a few guys from my high school. Any Fairport players on the squad?

you have to question the validity of any sport where a college can make 18 straight final fours.

Anrhydeddu · 03-28-2003, 03:30 PM

Okay, what about UNC Women Soccer? Damn, I forgot you were talking about legitimate/significant sports.

Kodos · 03-28-2003, 03:30 PM

Not if there are only 4 teams though...

illinifan999 · 03-28-2003, 07:49 PM

Kodos, I think Indiana football would be considered wretched or poor.

I love it when they show the lacrosse tournament on TV, one of the better sports.

AgPete · 03-28-2003, 07:54 PM

I have a question for PS2 players, is the online Madden free? Does it match players and rank everyone like EASO does with the PC?

CAsterling · 03-28-2003, 08:55 PM

Used to own X-Box and Ps-2 - gave PS2 to my sister for her kids to play with and sold the X-box to a colleague.

tucker342 · 03-28-2003, 09:06 PM

lacrosse is shiznizal kizzal kat fazzle phat!

My brother and I are probably like the only people in Iowa that play!

By the way, I own an XBox.

tucker342 · 03-28-2003, 09:08 PM
